NOT AN 'OFFENsIvE PARTISAN AND NOT DERELICT IN
HIS DUTIES.
The board OF Investigation appointed to ex-
anime into the charges preferred against Mr.. M.
l. Odell, keeper Of the Cape Henry Light Station,
OF misappropriation OF Government property and
offensive partsanship have reported to the Assist
ant Secretary that the charges were evidently pre-.
ferred by Philip Morrisett, OF Norfolk, Va, In
order to sc cure Odell's place. They nnd that the
latter has not been derect in his duties and that
all the testimony introduced to prove his 'OfYen-
slve partisanShip" was the fact that in S he took
part In the convention nominating John s. Wise
Tor governor and acted as a judge OF election the
same year. AS these acts occurred prior to the
Presidents order OF July IA. 1886, and Odell has
not since then taken the slightest interest in poll
tics, the board fully clears him OF the charge.
